But often the originators factor is the economic problem and also the problem of marriage, "said Director of Mental Health, the Ministry of Health, Dr. Irmansyah during the encounter in his office.
'Even so predictable story, since if one fails to commit suicide once, surely there would be the next trial. This is what should really pay attention, "he added.
To address this problem, the Ministry of Health is now preparing medical personnel who alerted the Health Center. In some health centers, medical personnel ranging from general practitioners who can explore mental health problems, psychologists, and psychiatrists also been prepared.
Although not yet able to reach all existing health centers, however, the future will be prepared more mature, so people can gain a lot of information about suicide risk and danger.
Not only that, the Ministry of Health has also released a suicide hotline with numbers "500 454" on November 10, 2010. And now, the number of callers getting a lot.

'As for those still in their productive age of 30-50 years complaining about economic problems, out of their office, can not work and the business went bankrupt, "said Bella.
Another case with those in older age, more precisely they complain about the lack of affection from a child. Most of them claim to depression because no longer live with their children, feel lonely and need friends.
